How much does a Free Leaky Basement Inspection Cost?

After we inspect the basement and discuss with you what we found, we'll show you everything that's involved. That way you will understand why the problem has occurred.

At A-1 Basement Solutions we don’t charge for a basement inspection but the free inspection and educational processes might be priceless. Properly maintaining your foundation is vital to protect the equity and value of your home.  Even if you don’t have water damage or flooding right now, your foundation could be subject to future problems. The best way to prevent small problems from turning into major flooding is to get all the facts.

When you contact A-1 Basement Solutions for a Basement Inspection, we will schedule your appointment for a 1 hour time slot of your choosing. We will then send you a confirming email and our Free E-Book “Basements 101”. The book is 29 pages in length and will teach you how your house was built  and why foundations leak. This book will give you a foundation of knowledge about your foundation. If you take the 15 minutes to read this before the basement inspection the appointment will go more smoothly.

The day of the inspection we show up on time, with proper identification and equipped with our years of experience. The first thing we look at is what type of foundation you have. We listen to what you have to say and look for the water where you show us.  Then we look for water in other places and evidence of past water intrusion. Seeing where the water comes into the foundation is very important  to finding why the basement leaks.

After we inspect the basement and discuss with you what we found, we’ll show you everything that’s involved. That way you will understand why the problem has occurred.  When we tell you how it can be fixed and how much it would cost you can make an educated choice on what action (if any) to take.   

There are many different solutions for these different problems and they all have different prices. Sometimes a basement just needs a simple crack repair. Sometimes a sump pump is called for. Sometimes it's a full French drain and sump pump. Every basement is different and every leak is different.

 

 

When we come out to look at your basement, we consider this to be an educational process. We do the aforementioned inspection, explain to you how your foundation was constructed and how the water is coming in. Then we propose a solution and tell you the  price. No sales gimmicks, no high-pressure. Just the facts and nothing but the facts.
